Cann You Help Me Understand

Sam is a waiter at a local restaurant where he earns wages of $6 per hour. Sam figures that he also earns about $2.50 in tips for each person he serves. Sam works 4 hours on a particular day.

If n represents the number of people Sam serves that day, which of the following functions could Sam use to figure E, his total earn

Answer 1

Okay, so all this wants you to do is write an equation that can be solved for E.

Answer 2

I Know But I Have No Clue How To Set It Upp

Answer 3

on it :) one sec

Answer 4

Okayy(:

Answer 5

So what we have to do is take the components presented in the word problem and plug them into an equation.

E-the number that we are solving for.
he works 4 hours on a particular day, earning $6 each hour
n is our unknown here, because we're trying to figure out how this affects the equation.
and he earns $2.50 in tips per customer.

When it says the following, does it have some equations listed?

Answer 6

A. E(n) = 4n + 10
B. E(n) = 2.5n
C. E(n) = 2.5n + 24

Answer 7

It's not A, because we aren't looking for n with relation to 4 because it is talking about how long he worked when compared to the customers (which doesn't fit the problem).

It's not B because we're looking for Total earn, not just a function modeling his tips.

C is correct because it refers to both the total earn and his pay for that day (6*4=24 and 2.5*n is modeling his tips).

Does this kinda/sort of make sense?

Answer 8

yes thanks i just /dont Know How To Do Functions

Answer 9

I know, functions bite. I'm so happy I don't have to deal with them any more. Anyway, I looked at this site and it might help you understand a little bit more.
